Invasive Alien Species’ Toolkit for Target 6 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
Following the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, Parties requested the Executive Secretary to develop advice, in collaboration with the Inter-Agency Liaison Group on invasive alien species, on the evaluation of existing capacity and needs for monitoring, preventing and controlling the introduction and spread of invasive alien species and their harmful effects on biodiversity, taking into account relevant multilateral instruments, and thereafter as relevant, update the CBD online toolkit on invasive alien species that was developed to support Parties in implementing Aichi Target 9 (available below). In response to this request, the CBD Secretariat in collaboration with IUCN and the Inter-Agency Liaison Group on Invasive Alien Species, has developed a non-prescriptive toolkit that provides new information in line with Target 6.
